Fibro fog - a little giggle

Well, I'm in the mood to laugh at fibro (obviously having a low pain evening) and thought that I would share some of my more amusing fibro fog examples, and hoping that others, in a similar mood, might also post theirs.

1.  This one used to happen a lot before I knew about fibro.  I would be so darn tired that I'd be driving my van and would try to put the clutch in to shift gears........except that my van is (and has always been) an automatic.  Unfortunately, that darn break petal feels a lot like a clutch and would scare the heck out of other occupants in van as I would press hard on it by accident :)  I haven't driven a standard in 10 years, but when tired, I go clutch crazy.

2.  I don't know how many times I've driven down our street, towards my house and felt extreme alarm, spotting my driveway and thinking, oh my goodness!  my van is missing!  someone has stolen it!........only problem, I was driving that van at the time :)

3.  This is more recent and made me laugh aloud.  I had put my cell phone in my back pocket.  A few hours later, I decided that it was lost and tried calling it from my home phone.  I kept hearing the cell phone ringing behind me, turning around, looking for it......my kids pitched in, trying to figure out WHERE THAT RINGING was coming from.....yup, in my pocket...hahhahahaha

Hope that these silly stories brought a smile :)

Alol Funny! And thank you so much for sharing those! I am having a painful night for some reason & I'm just waiting & hoping 2 Tramadols will take it away, so the cheerful distraction helped

 

A tired thumbs up for Tramadol!  (well, I take Ultram, which is the acetomenophen free version).....oooh, do you take two at once?

Not sure what is going on with these lines in the text, but another little giggle - my hubby has gotten concerned with my weapon of choice in the kitchen - a wooden cooking spoon.  I'm relatively tall, but find that the top shelf to be too high - darn new builds with tall ceilings! - and am sometimes too tired to find a bench.  So I've taken to using a cooking spoon to pull items down with the hopes that I catch them.  He started getting quite nervous when I started trying to knock down the wine glasses from the top shelp hahahhahah!  The brown sugar is in a tupperware type container with a lip on the lid - the spoon got caught and I managed to launch the container behind me.  Even the dogs are being wary in the kitchen hahahah! 

Hope that you are able to get some rest, applevenus :)

Lol to the story of the wooden spoon & I think I have the brown sugar in the same type container. Maybe you should get one of those "grabber" tools

I do have a grabber! But my youngest loves it and I can never find it, bec she's put it away somewhere. She's dangerous with that thing, just like her mum and that wooden spoon :) Actually, when I was testing out the grabber at the store, the clerk started looking nervous as I lunged at items up on shelves hahahha!

I have suffered from fybromyalgia for 8 years and now i live pain free i had to look for chatroom to let everyone know that its wonderful to live pain free no more meds

My latest one: We were on vacation at our families cottage. I guess we had a bad storm back at home and some people lost power. My son was to go back the day before us, because he had to go back to school. So he was wondering how he was going to get up if we lost power. So I told him to use his cell phone's alarm. He said that the battery only lasts about 4 hours (stupid smart phones) so I told him, "Just put it on the charger!" *crickets, odd looks* "Mom, how can I charge it if we don't have power????" o_O

Fibro fog is so much fun isn't it??? LOL

Hahahah! Thanks for the giggle Robin - love it!!!

Thanks for sharing Sherry! Don't ya just love that slient (with or without crickets) moments? hee hee

My mum has had CFS for 20 or so years, so often the two of us together get ourselves in quite the muddle. I'll never forget the time when I had a stupid, inefficient set of stackable washer and dryers from Samsung (yes, the electronics company). I was rushing around, bec my house was on the market, and someone was due to visit soon. The silly washer started beeping terribly and displayed a message. I said to my mum, the washer is giving me an error message! And she heard, the washer is sending me an air message (I know, doesn't make sense). Her response, well, answer it then! She thought that it was somehow ringing like a phone for a moment. Talk about dead silence! We laughed a lot later - when's the last time that you answered a washing machine?!?
